FRANKLIN – Franklin police are warning residents to be vigilant and, in particular, be on the lookout for a particular car after a string of break-ins."Over the last several weeks, the Town has experienced an increase in residential house break activity, not rampant activity, but enough to be of concern to us," said Police Chief Stephan Semerjian in a release.The break-ins are being committed during the daytime hours and have been occurring in the more remote and outlying areas of town, according to police.Police are asking residents to be on the lookout for a white Chevrolet HHR with a Rhode Island registration plate. Police released a photo of a similar vehicle, and asked residents to report it or any other suspicious vehicles immediately."The Franklin Police Department would like all residents to report any suspicious vehicle or activity in their neighborhood immediately to us by telephone or flag down a police car if one is in your area," Semerjian wrote.He also said residents should be "vigilant" in securing homes, cars and any garages or sheds to deter easy access."We need your help and extra eyes to provide us the information we will need to successfully solve these cases," Semerjian said.Contact Lindsay Corcoran at 508-634-7582 or lcorcoran@wickedlocal.com.
